- pault 7y agoDoesn't that apply to every company that does technical interviews? What about people with anxiety disorders? Any interview at all is discrimination.

- pkaye 7y agoWhen I used to be a manager who did hiring, I was always open to accommodating the candidates needs. Like instead of whiteboard, using paper or laptop. So far nobody asked for take-home projects. A few times people asked for a second chance and I'd agree to it.
- fouc 7y agoHow does competition programming style interviews discriminate against ADHD? I know there's different types of ADHD but the type I'm most familiar with is the one with a relationship between attention/focus & stimulation. High stimulation = high attention/focus. So interviews wouldn't be a disadvantage at all, unless they were incredibly boring.
